What did you learn?

by John Hendron · Aug 15, 2010

Every time I come back from a conference or workshop outside of Goochland, I try to ask myself that question—what did I learn?

What did you take away? Sometimes it’s technical, but sometimes it’s emotional. This conference in Cambridge, MA was a mixture of both, but more emotional. It “recharged” me and my thinking about education in ways other conferences have never done.

My thanks go out to Dr. Mano Talaiver for helping Bea and I fund our trip to Boston and to attend the conference. We have plans to bring more scratching to Virginia in the upcoming school year through sessions at EdTech, VSTE, and perhaps even a “Scratch Virginia” event. Stay tuned!

K-12 Conference

by John Hendron · Oct 17, 2008

Several educators have sent me e-mail about this, and of course, it’s been “a buzz” in the edu-blogosphere.

With tight budgets, consider spending some time between now and the end of October at the K-12 Online Conference, focused on pedagogy with technology.

“Conference in a website?” Sure! You can listen, read, and watch, and from what I’ve seen, it’s all high quality.
